We just moved to a new town/area/school.

Thanks for posting the link! (I say as I wipe the tears from my eyes). I, too, have lost my mother and I miss her very much.

As an only child too, I lost both of my parents 10 months apart.

I didn't mean to make everyone cry! Hopefully, it was a "good" cry--if you know what I mean--one that sort of makes you feel better at the same time. The reason the Ben Stein article hits home for me is because my mother was relentless where I was concerned. Her last couple of years were extremely difficult. I knew my father had dementia, but it wasn't until he passed away that I realized that she had it as well. Towards the end, she was incredibly paranoid where I was concerned. She accused me of every bad thing in the book, including telling everyone she knew that I never called her, that I hadn't visited her "in years", that I had "stolen" all of her money, etc., etc. This was despite the fact that my husband and I did everything we could to look after her. She took to calling me dozens of times a day--so much so that I had to avoid many of her calls. At the very end, she didn't even know who I was; however that was only in her last couple

For us it would be the atmosphere of the town, the sense of community and the people.

I'm sorry it was your birthday and as you say you were feeling a little off.
